Relegation-battling Burton completed a double over promotion-chasing Bradford as goals from Alex Hartridge and Tyrese Shade secured a 2-1 home victory for Gary Bowyer's side.
Victory pushed the Brewers four points away from the bottom four in League One, while fourth-placed Bradford suffered a seventh defeat in their last eight away games.
